On your bulk you also eat only one meal

He's cutting now.
wave ate 2 whole meals on his mini-bulk

exactly.

This is just funny until you realize how much he eats in those two meals.

It's not that much.

Good, today i will try 3 large meal, of 1000 cals each, instead of my 6 meal, and i will see how i feel

Just a matter of convenience, some do better with more, some with less frequent meals.

Hey there, that's what I'm trying to do. Just in a different way.

awesome, best of luck, u have good results with "different ways" so the results should be great.

[RapidFiyah]

So when does the mini cut end?

[JOSEF RAKICH]

Keep it up bro looking awesome.

Everytime i read what you ate for the day it makes me laugh.

[GROWLER]

I have enjoyed these ramblings emensely. Best darn read on the site. Thank you mate.

A DIRTY bulk. Most epicurian one I have ever seen.
Amazing take out food (same table in every shot) eaten at home (out of work?) or, at work.
Ability to attract a huge teen age audience while being on the O35 site.
Eye catching photography.
Odd weights lifted. 99%of all non metric weights come 5-10-25-35-45 as an example. Yours come in odd one pound increments??
And overall observation is that you have proven most of all other bodybuilding paragigms to be false, foolish, waste of time/money or you are pulling our collective legs.......BIG TIME.

Anyway this is a lot of fun.

Haha, thanks man!

Not sure yet, I guess when I don't feel like a fat swine anymore.
Still have to figure things out and make up rules how to do it most efficiently.

Keep it up bro looking awesome.

LOL, thanks!

Thanks man!

But most of this thread was actually about a dirty CUT, I have only bulked 3 weeks in this entire year until now.

Meals pictured on the wooden table are all eaten at home.

The odd weights are simply due to me living in Austria, where we use kilogramms instead of pounds.

hey ive been following this thread and i have a quick question
ive read that you said all that matters for body composition is total intake and that you meet your protein requirements , so does this mean carbs and fat doesnt really matter
Thanks

Basically yes. You do need to get in basic nutrition as described in the cutting guide:
http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showpo...postcount=1305

But apart from that, eat whatever you want. Just follow the essential rules.

[wave_length]

Workout:
Delts: Smith Presses, 8 x 176 lbs
Biceps: (right-side) Reverse Stance Preacher DB Curls, 8 x 35 lbs
Delts: Side Lateral DB Raises, 9 x 35 lbs (PB2009)
Triceps: Cable Pulldowns with rope, 9 x 88 lbs (PB2009)
Abs: Giant Set of Situps

Nutrition:
Lunch at Austrian Restaurant: chicken curry salad, pan-fried pangasius filet with pepper sauce, crocettes, veggies, and salad, diet coke.
Rest of the Day: 100g whey protein shake, some EFA oil.

Notes:
Not my best training today, felt rather weak.

[toiletmoose]

Lol, feeling weak and breaking some PRs. And btw, what happened to the left side for the preacher curls?

Also, since this is a mini-cut, I assume you are doing cycles of bulk/cut. What's your plans? 3 week bulk, 1 week cut?

Great stuff here always.

If I am not mistaking I don't think he is really cycling a set amount of time for bulking or cutting. I think it is going to be "bulk as long as I cant until I feel too fat", then, "cut until I am not feeling too fat" and repeat. I think that is about right... LOL

just wanted to ask should i count incomplete protein sources like rice or beans towards my daily protein intake or should i only count complete protein sources like meat,eggs,etc

I wouldn't say that. Individual results may vary. To assume there are absolutes in metabolism and and everyone insulin level is the same is ridiculous.

He found what works for him, which is what everyone should spend time doing.

I still have the injury in my left arm, so only right side biceps training. But my right biceps has always been smaller anyway.

That's the idea for now, as I said, I still have to figure things out.

thanks

You must definitely count everything in your calories. Regarding the protein, there are two goals to consider: getting enough essential amino acids for general health and getting enough of the particular amnio acids which are responsible for muscle growth. For meeting the first goal, you would theoretically have to add everything up and see what the resulting profiles are. However, this goal will probably not be missed anyway as long as you include some complete protein in your diet.

For the second goal, AFAIK leucin has been identified as the essential amnio acid responsible for muscle growth. Different proteins have different concentration of Leucin, but you can always make up for it with just eating a bit more of the particular protein source. If you want more details, I would recommend asking one of the experts on this board like Alan Aragon or Layne Norton.

I agree to some degree. My particular diet is the most convenient for me, certainly not for everyone. However, for healthy people, the essential rules for optimal body composition are always the same. Everyone following the essential rules of my cutting guide will be able to cut or bulk with (close to) optimal body composition. Metabolism or insulin release patterns are irrelevant for that. The former because I go by rate of weight loss, the latter because there are no scientific studies on body composition (I know of) which would prove otherwise.

felt weak again ...

Well I'm on my mini cut right now, so it is kind of expected to feel weak on some days. As long as I'm still breaking some PBs, it's OK with me.

[rock201]

OMG. Sweet meals! Everything sounds really good, but I want to try that turkey schnitzel thing. I'm tired of American/Asian food...

[jessedha]

keep it up wave. though, ive said before i have no idea how u know wen to stop eating wen u dont count a single thing. sadly, right now, it doesnt seem to work for me as i have a hard time reaching the guidelines without using clean foods(i cant believe im sayin this, but im a clean-eating freak now) if i c u reach 180 lb nd ripped as f***, I WILL DO THIS DIET UNTIL 30. nd if it works, ill be glad to give u all the credit (:

You can easily make it yourself. there are plenty of Schnitzel recipes out there.

You probably won't ever see me 180lbs ripped. You won't see too many true lifetime naturals under 6 feet at 180lbs ripped in general. Has nothing at all to do with "clean" food of course. In any case, eating "clean" is perfectly OK too of course.

[rdrb]

Man, you love that asian buffet and your diet coke lol.

[mrpacijr]

Anybody else usually have days where your strength is real weak in the weight room?!? Most days my strength is really good, actually going up in weights. Just seems like 1 day out of the week I'll just be weak as hell and not be able to do all the reps, instead of knocking out 12, 10 , 8..I can only do like 12, 6, 4 etc...? Could this be bc I dont eat anything before I work out or maybe bc the day before I broke a personal best? Hmm...?

[reaperschild]

i do hope that you guys know that "clean food" is food that is organic without pesticides or hormones, foods grown from non synthetic fertilizers. chocolate cake can be considered "clean" if it follows these rules. not what your thinking on oatmeal and chicken.
